Plot / Content: Rating: G "Published well ahead of its time in 1966, Song of the Loon is a lusty gay frontier romance that tells the story of Ephraim MacIver, a 19th century outdoorsman and his travels through the American wilderness, where he meets a number of men who share with him stories, wisdom and intimate encounters. The most popular erotic gay book of the 1960s, Song of the Loon was the inspiration for two sequels, a 1970 film of the same name, at least one porn movie and a parody novel. Unique among pulp novels of the time, the gay characters in Song of the Loon are strong and romantically drawn, traits which have earned the book a place in the canon of gay American literature."

"A brilliant day; the high May sun streamed through the Douglas firs, glanced from their pale green needles into pools of air, tangibly blue. Darker green, the waters of the Umpqua fell in tiny crystals from the paddle - the waves from the canoe sighed in the shadows of white alders and lacey vine maples. A pair of jays screamed high in the tree tops, then streaked far into the woods, crying hoarsely. The sunlight turned the man's hair to new copper; shirtless, his deeply-muscled shoulders stretched and tightened as he paddled, formed knots and hollows across his back. His chest hair gleamed with sweat, and the thin line hair down his belly, widening below the navel, was flattened against his undulating muscles. He paused. The jays returned, still screaming." opening paragraphs Secondhand booksellers |
